Validation of H-P2PSIP, a scalable solution for interoperability among different overlay networks

Peer-to-Peer Networking and Applications volume 6, pages 175–193 (2013)Cite this article

Abstract

This paper reports the results of experiments from an implementation of H-P2PSIP, a hierarchical overlay architecture based on the ongoing work in the IETF P2PSIP Working Group. This architecture allows the exchange of information among different independent overlay networks through the use of a two-layer architecture based on super-peers and hierarchical identifiers. The validation of this proposal is based on a Linux based real implementation where we have used four different scenarios with 1,000 peers in order to perform different experiments. We have obtained results for different parameters such as routing performance (number of hops), delay, routing state (number of overlay routing entries) and bandwidth consumption.

  4. Although RELOAD considers overlay networks in general, it is especially focused on structured Peer-to-Peer networks, mainly Distributed Hash Tables (DHTs). Thereby, we use from this moment both terms overlay network and peer-to-peer network with the same meaning. Each term is selected depending on the context where it is used.
